Pratt Center and its partners in the Basement Apartments Safe for Everyone (BASE) coalition won a victory with the recent enactment of legislation that will enable the creation of a basement and cellar apartment legalization program in NYC. “These zoning and building code reforms, following the State legislation won earlier this year, represent the key regulatory changes needed for safe basement apartment conversions.”

Christina Perla, BID ’14, and Manny Mota, BID ’02, were interviewed about their 3D-printing company Makelab. “Perla and Mota both studied industrial design at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute, which is more or less the whole rationale behind why the duo started an additive manufacturing (AM) service bureau in the unlikely location of one of Manhattan’s five boroughs.”

April Maxey, BFA Film ’12, was interviewed in Shoutout LA.  “My work is very personal, and it always feels risky to write about myself, my fears, my mistakes, my deepest wounds and desires—it’s an incredibly vulnerable process,” said Maxey. “But I think as artists that is the task, to risk exposing our depths and being rejected, but doing it anyway.”
